Germany-based Eurotape Media, a provider of broadcast masters for major broadcasters, has upgraded its technology and performance enhancements by implementing the latest version of the R&S Clipster 6 Mark 2.
This allows Eurotape Media to achieve up to a 100% speed boost over previous versions. Throughout its daily workflows, Eurotape Media is handling high value, high resolution, large files which need to be securely managed, processed and delivered under tight deadlines.
To meet these goals, Eurotape has a shared storage network built on the R&S SpycerNode SC. This provides both massive scalability and support for very high bandwidth transfers: up to 22 Gbps per node. This server network handles files at 4K Ultra HD (UHD) and higher resolutions as necessary.
And to create large numbers of deliverables in multiple formats, Eurotape Media standardised processes some time ago on the R&S Clipster. Now it has extended its capabilities by upgrading to the latest and most powerful version, the R&S Clipster 6 Mark 2, which is integrated into an automated work order system.
Ralf Jesse, Studio Manager at Eurotape, said, “The additional power speeds up the mastering process. It also gives us the ability to work in resolutions above 4K. That is important because we scan at up to 6K and now we do not need to downscale, which would be another time-consuming process.
“The same applies to high dynamic range (HDR), which is now seamless in our delivery workflows.”
